Our Mission

The Hands On Children's Museum stimulates curiosity, creativity and critical thinking through fun, interactive and engaging exhibits and learning experiences for children, families and the community.

The Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Our Vision

Hands On inspires all children to love to learn regardless of ethnicity, ability, gender, or income. We aspire to be the premier provider of interactive art and science education, fostering early foundational skills for success in school and in life.

Our Values

- Exciting, Engaging Experiences – We delight our visitors with a treasured facility, exceptional service, and engaging early learning experiences.

- Experiential Learning – We believe in the intrinsic value of play and that whole child learning encourages curiosity and academic success. We support parents in their role as their child's first teacher & partner in learning.

- Access for All – All children deserve respect and the opportunity to learn, regardless of their ethnicity, ability, gender, or income.

- Community Partnerships – We believe that communities are enriched when diverse groups work creatively together to educate our children.

- Young Makers – We encourage tinkering, making and investigation to build meaningful math and science learning. In the early years, math literacy is the greatest predictor of school success.

- Good for You! Healthy Lifestyles Initiative – Healthy children learn best. We provide abundant play experiences, a deep connection to nature, and healthy food choices to improve a child's wellbeing. We are committed to green practices in our facility, exhibits and education programs.
